Bobby Baldwin: Expert Negotiator

[user24788]
[user24788]
There was a dispute at Bobby Baldwin's table between two players. Player A thought he was shorted 12K in a pot. Player B felt that he owed too much. Three different tournament directors were called over and they could not make a decision. That's when Bobby Baldwin stood up and helped recreate the hand. Even though he wasn't there from the beginning of the hand, he was able to figure out the hand to the proper satisfaction of all parties involved.

Max Talbot Flushes Up to 36,000

A player raised from early position, Max Talbot called from late position, the small blind called, and the big blind called. The flop came {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, the small blind checked, the big blind bet 2,000, the original raiser folded, Talbot called, and the small blind folded.

Heads-up, the turn card was the {J-Diamonds}. The big blind moved all in for 10,000, and Talbot called with {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the queen-high flush. His opponent showed {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for trip jacks. As long as the board didn't bring a jack, a ten, a seven, or a four, Talbot was looking to double up.

The river card was the {3-Diamonds}, and Talbot wins with his flush, increasing his chip stack to about 36,000.

For those who are joining the coverage late, Talbot is a professional hockey player who plays in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Waiting to get in
Waiting to get in
Spectators are asked to leave the tournament area just prior to players going on a break to clear way for the players to get out. The next level will soon start, and a new bunch of spectators will be let into the Amazon Room. Outside, there is a long line of eager fans waiting patiently for their turn to rail their favorite players.
